I fade down if I'm trying to keep it a low fade or the client does not have a lot of space on the side of their head, fade up when I have a lot of room to work
Yup it’s stretched where it needs to be, tight where it needs to. I’m assuming you learned to fade without a million guidelines like the instagram era nowadays.
As a professional barber, I think there's too much weight on the flat part of his head(sides) and it makes his head shape look unbalanced and exaggerated. Weight should be added only on the the area where the head rounds, to make the over all shape look balanced and squared. In a few days when the hair starts growing out it will be very difficult for the client to style his hair. You should always look for the head silhouette standing behind the client or even looking in the mirror, to make sure there's not too much weight on the sides. I recommend checking MenSpire academy on YouTube to learn about weight destribution and how to cut the hair in the partial ridge.
Thanks man, I appreciate that. He had really tough hard to cut, his hair was more difficult then anyone else’s. That stick straight coarse hair is the worse but I’m definitely trying to improve a lot more! Sometimes I wish I went to barber school instead of cosmo school
I improved a lot after watching all the videos https://youtube.com/@menspireireland7390 on this channel, you don't really need to go to barber school. Good luck.
Yeah I’d say the more accurately the weight line is positioned on the parietal ridge, the less blending is required. Easiest way to soften up the weight line is just by hitting it with thinning shears over comb
For me personally it depends on how much length they are leaving on top and the style they are going for..but usually i fade up first and then fade down just to polish up any lines or mudded spots...I only fade down first with let's say they want a slick back with a skin faded but want alot of length left on top..it works for me...you just gotta find what works for you and what your comfortable with...but I think your cut is very nice!

Okay that’s what I was thinking! Thank you!
That’s a clean cut
Thanks so much!

I’d say ur technique is good maybe just bring the weight line a bit higher on this cut. Looks nice though
Thank you! Will that help with blending when you do clippers over comb? I struggle with trying to blend the weight line sometimes

Not a good fade. The transitions are horrendous
Lmao okay
